Bac Ha market is
well-known for its naturally sub-tropical scenery. Tam Hoa plums are really
a local specialty: sweet and fresh. This seems to be created by its own
land, people and nature.
Average temperature here is 19°C and it's not so cold as in Sa Pa. Bac Ha is
specifically identified by each mount, each house and naturally-made carpet
of white plum-flowers in spring. There are 14 ethnic minorities and the Mong
ethnics count for 47% then the Dao, Tay, Nung, Phu La... Mountaineers take

friends.

selling their own alcohol without feelings to be cheated...(read
